I posted a question to the organizer to find out if there is any interest in the US boats being shipped to France after the Spain event for the F18 Worlds in Heyres. They were going to ask some more questions.

Hi Dan, France is one week before the Spain event, with 5 days in-between. Greg and I are going to both and have already rented a house right on the beach down the road from the site..... if you know anyone that will be going to France, we have room. (two extra bedeooms) that we'd be looking to split - cost will be 400 euros for the week per room. Its a nice place, I've stayed in it before on my last trip to Hobie Cat France, I have pictures if you'd like to see some of the interior.
